What does your handwriting says about you?

Instructions:
  • Remember, there are no wrong answers!
  • Write out this paragraph first to have a sample of your handwriting to check.
  • Use at least two lines.
  • All you keyboarding types - you will need obsolete instruments, like PEN and PAPER
Questions:-

1. How would you say your letters slope?

a = Backward?
b = Straight up and down?
c = Forward?

2. Are the letters in your words

a = Fully connected, with clear breaks between the words?
b = Partially connected, depending on the letters?
c = Unconnected, like printing?

3. Between words, do you leave

a = Wide spaces?
b = Narrow spaces?
c = No spaces - words are connected, pen doesn't leave paper?

4. How close together are your lines of writing?

a = Very far apart?
b = Apart far enough that the letters do not touch?
c = Close enough that the descenders (like y and g) of the top and the ascenders (like h and t) of the bottom overwrite each other?

5. What color ink did you choose? (If you used another color, which of these three would you prefer?)

a = Blue-black
b = Red
c = Light Blue

6. How large was your capitol I in the sample?

a = Larger than the other capitol letters
b = About the same size as the other capitol letters
c = Smaller than the other capitol letters

7. What do your t bars look like? (The crossbars on your letter t)

a = They tend to be to the left of the stem of the t
b = They cross the t more or less in the middle
c = They tend to be to the right of the stem of the t

8. Does your writing

a = Slope upward on the page?
b = Go straight across the page?
c = Slope downward on the page?

9. Which takes the most space vertically in a line of your writing?

a = The ascenders? (the tops of t and h)
b = The middle zone? (letters like a and e and n)
c = The descenders? (the bottoms of j and y and g)

10. How much pressure does your writing show?

a = Fine and spidery?
b = Firm and even?
c = Heavy?



I got:-
1 = c, 2 = b, 3 = a, 4 = a, 5 =b, 6 = b, 7 = c, 8 = b, 9 = a, 10 = b
